Undergirding all of the promising services that figure to play prominently in tomorrow’s sustainable “smart” cities—new economic and governance models, improvements in personal health and public safety, advanced capabilities for traffic, waste, and water management, etc.—will be foundational information and communications …
Abstract:
Ethernet is constantly evolving, adapting to the needs of the networking world and addressing the requirements of both operators and end-users, while making sure that the resulting technology is cost-efficient, reliable, and operates in a plug and play manner. The IEEE 802.3 Working Group has …
The next generation of wireless communications must support a wide range of applications and services. Recent advances in wireless applications and services have shown a fast growth in mobile traffic with prospects to increase in coming years. So-called 5G applications, Internet of things (IoT), and …
The automobile was not thought of as a high-technology device during the last 50 years. “High-tech” meant Silicon Valley—computers, microcircuits, advanced networking, smartphones, things that were defined by advanced electronics and software. Cars may have been high-tech by the standards of mechanical engineers, with “exotic” …
Introduction
At the end of the twentieth century, the massive proliferation of the Internet initiated a revolution in our everyday lives. Time-consuming and complex processes like booking a flight became easy. Using e-mail instead of letters printed out on paper helped speed our way of doing …
